Chromo-natural inflation is a novel model of inflation which relies on the existence of non-abelian gauge fields interacting with an axion. In its simplest realization, an SU(2) gauge field is assumed to begin inflation in a rotationally invariant VEV. The dynamics of the gauge fields significantly modifies the equations of motion for the axion, providing an additional damping term that supports slow-roll inflation, without the need to fine tune the axion decay constant. We demonstrate that in an appropriate slow-roll limit it is possible to integrate out the massive gauge field fluctuations whilst still maintaining the nontrivial modifications of themore »« less

Higgsed Chromo-Natural Inflation

Journal Article Adshead, Peter ; Martinec, Emil ; Sfakianakis, Evangelos I. ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We demonstrate that Chromo-Natural Inflation can be made consistent with observational data if the SU(2) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken. Working in the Stueckelberg limit, we show that isocurvature is negligible, and the resulting adiabatic fluctuations can match current observational constraints. Observable levels of chirally-polarized gravitational radiation (r ~ 10 ^-3) can be produced while the evolution of all background fields is sub-Planckian. The gravitational wave spectrum is ampli ed via linear mixing with the gauge field fluctuations, and its amplitude is not simply set by the Hubble rate during in inflation. This allows observable gravitational waves to be producedmore »« less
